Nikola Mirotic

Milwaukee is at least feigning interest in Bogut to drive down the price on Jordan or maybe Favors.

Bogut is done.

So are we getting Mirotic or have I read most of this crap for nothing?

The Jazz and Bulls are talking and a deal is possible. But we don't have any real details yet. So, we don't really know.

Indeed a clean pair of shorts and a cigarette with your morning coffee, actually come to think of it sometimes that fresh pair of shorts really comes in handy after that.

with that i take my leave, wanna read more of the excellent Heretic by Ayaan Hirsi Ali before i sleep.

Dan Clayton posted a good article with lots of info on Twitter 10 hours ago (can't link from here). Talks about the Jazz and trade scenarios and rumors. Worth reading if you're into this stuff.

Some highlights:

- Jazz appear to be shopping Joe Johnson, possibly as a favor to him to put him on a contender.
- Jazz and Bulls are talking, confirmed by Spencer Checketts
- Rumors of the Jazz having interest in a player with 3-4 years left on their contract in the high teens salary wise per year. Lists players in that category and says Crabbe and Fournier are interesting.
- Teams are calling about Burks but his value is hard to determine
- Favors, JJ and Burks are the most likely to be traded
- Keep an eye on DeAndre Jordan rumors to determine Favors market (Cleveland, Washington and Milwaukee mentioned by name)
- Discusses Mirotic's value. Less than a 1st more than a 2nd.
- Mirotic contract details
- Mentions that Gobert, Mitchell and maybe Ingles as really the only players off the table

Well that's all a bunch of stuff that sounds totally on-point.

I'm not sure where to tuck this point in, so I'll do it here: the trade market mid-season (like the free agent market in the offseason), is usually contingent on other moves. Usually the big domino has to fall in order for everything else to. So, Favors might not be moved until either DeAndre Jordan is, or until the trade deadline (in the event the Jordon situation lasts that long or isn't traded at all).
 
I'm still trying to figure out how we get Mirotic without trading our 1st, Exum or Hood. Seems like the Bulls don't have much leverage. It would be unfortunate if we have to get rid of one of those assets in order to get Mirotic.

Maybe...

Pelicans get Favors
Bulls get JoeJ and NOLA's 2018 1st
We get Mirotic and Asik

If we did that, we are a luxury team next season when we re-sign Hood and Exum. But our core for the future would be Exum, Mitchell, Hood, Mirotic, Gobert, Bradley and our 2018 1st. Not bad...

NOLA has zero use for Favs...

If we can get a first rounder for one of our assets I’d rather have the first rounder... not send it off.

I stand firm... they won’t get a first rounder for him without taking back salary. I will give you Favs and a couple seconds if you want. Maybe they can find a home for Favs but time is not on their side.

Here is an idea Favs to Washington Gortat and smith to Chicago... wash 1st to Chicago as well... Niko to us.

They figure out what to do with Gortat Smith Lopez later.

Even though Mirotic can't be traded until Monday could it be announced if they had reached an agreement?

I’m sure it could. Not like they can’t talk.

I don’t think Jordan gets moved. Hey are close to the playoffs and the market for centers this offseason will be really limited... clips won’t have to pay him the max.

Joe Johnson is heading for a buyout.

Maybe. Hopefully it’s as part of a trade in a cost cutting move for his expiring contract - even if it means the Jazz have to kick in some cash to offset that buyout. Then he’s free to pick where he wants to go. I want them to do right by Joe Jesus, but I’d like them to be able to use his contract for something positive.

It also makes me wonder if Derrick Favors is really going to get a huge contract offer elsewhere, or if the Jazz are better off retaining him as a building block for the near future. I look at the PF cupboard and it’s pretty barren here in the next few years. I’m one of the few who doesn’t hate the Gobert/Favors frontcourt. All depends on the cost, but I’ve always leaned towards keeping him if possible.
